The Best Celebrity Met Gala Hair Moments Of All Time

Thanks to the annual Met Gala, the first Monday of every May is never just another day to cross off the calendar — in the fashion world, at least. In fact, the Met Gala is the only Monday we ever look forward to. Why? Even the most stunning hair and makeup looks for the Oscars and Grammys seem extremely dull compared to Met Gala versions, and who would have ever thought that that was possible? It’s prime time for stars to be more playful with their looks, and shed ultra-glam hairstyles in favor of something a little more subversive. Not to mention, it’s unofficially the biggest night for total hair transformations. (Don’t worry — we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled.)

The Met Gala was born so boundaries could be pushed further and further, and rules could be broken — which means that no hairstyle is too out-of-the-box. Check out all of the looks that have turned heads in recent years and get ready for even more mane moves this year!
